Patna High Court CWJC No.11393 of 2017 (2) dt.07-09-2017 2/2 Urban Development Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. I do not find any force in the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner as it appears from the enquiry report itself that certain omission and commission are alleged to have been committed by the petitioner during his tenure as Executive Officer, Nagar Panchayat, Tekari. Therefore, I do not find any illegality in the order of suspension. This writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
